Making the leap from the social media world to the realm of traditional on-screen acting can be very tricky. Especially if you're coming into your acting career with very minimal experience. Yet for Amanda Steele, when she decided to test out a new career, she found that she had a knack for drama. That natural ability turned into stints on two go90 series, "Guidance" and "Inside Woman," and has since blossomed into a newfound passion for Steele. To date, she's one of the select few social media stars who have made that career leap with relative ease.

When did you first decide to make the shift into acting?
I always was interested in it but I wasn't sure if I would be awkward or weird doing it. It made sense though because I was YouTubing on camera, so I went into Awesomeness TV and I said that I was interested in auditioning for any role to see how it works. I also tried working with an acting coach to see how I flowed with it. And the first time I sat down with my acting coach, I just loved it so much. I felt like I was getting so deep with my emotions. And I loved getting to experience the personalities of someone else. So it was a great first time being on set, having all my efforts go into one big project and having it come out to such a great reception. So I'm really excited to start working on something new.

What projects do you hope to be working on soon? Do you see yourself continuing on with drama?
I'm very much open to trying out everything and seeing what fits me best, like how I did when I first auditioned. But I think that dramas would make more sense for me. I feel like my mind is more geared towards thinking very deep and emotionally, so it's my strong suit. I don't know about comedies; I think if I did a comedy they would cast me as a stereotypical mean girl and that's something that's not as interesting to me. So I'd love to do more dramas, and even sci-fis too.

What actors or actresses inspire you?
I really like Chloë Grace Moretz because she's young and funny and she's really great at what she does. She's great at comedy and drama. I think her work is awesome. And also Jennifer Lawrence because she's hilarious and talented, she also refuses to conform to anything.

What's the one beauty hack you swear by?
I'd say setting spray. It's simple but I'll put it on my face and then put primer. Then I'll spray setting spray multiple times throughout my makeup look so that it sticks all day.

What are three products you can't live without?
I can't live without concealer; I really love the Tarte contour. It has tons of coverage and still looks natural, which is something that's really important to me. There's a new brow pencil from Benefit and that's what I've been using recently. It's so so good and easy to make a beautiful natural brow with it. Other products make it too harsh or it's hard to use. And I love the Rosebud lip balm and I always have to have that on me.

What do you think is the biggest beauty mistake most people make?
I think a lot of people struggle with eyebrows because there's a lot of ways to do it and everyone's eyebrow shapes are different. So it's hard to copy someone else's video. It's all about making sure that you don't go over the top and that you keep everything natural. That tends to fit most people best.

If you know me well or have read interviews I’ve done then you know that @marthastewart has always been my biggest inspiration when it comes to food. One of my goals is to be a combination of my two idols- Martha and Andy Warhol. As a child I would dream about spending the time and care like her to prepare a table, creating something very special for people to join around and share a meal. Watching her cook inspired me to teach myself how to hand weigh ingredients, to always have my mise en place organized, how to pronounce words like vichyssoise, and her wide usage of produce variety is honestly a large part of where my curiosity for our food sparked from. With this said, I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I was told that I was one of the 25 creatives @marthastewart is inspired by in celebration of their 25th anniversary. Thank you for helping me think and dream so big Martha, I am honored to share this and to make you all of the colors. #25yearsofmartha #foodgradients

I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself. I’m Brittany and I recognize that I seem to do a decent job of not sharing much about my actual self here or in interviews. I prefer to keep my art about the food and not myself. This community and my photography have become the biggest part of my life, I love it more than I have words to explain but there's more that makes me who I am. So for a quick moment here’s a bit- I’m 24, a taurus, live in Seattle but grew up in San Diego, my favorite food is a cheeseburger (super thin patty, toasted bun), my favorite bands are @stygoc and @metric, my first tattoo was the one on chest- it’s still my favorite and says ‘love your life’, something many people sadly forget. I was raised by my grandparents, I love to make small collections of items like rocks and stickers, I grew up playing a lot of sports competitively, I love Star Wars and have Boba Fett tattooed on my arm but Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is my favorite movie. Many times I have been told that being an artist “can’t be a real job” and that I was wasting my time trying to do so. I smile everyday not because I proved them wrong but because I achieved a goal. Dream big, everyone.

Thought I might start this week off with a past candy photo. Here's to hoping you all have the best days ahead! #foodgradients
